hi my name is Ryan. I’m 16 with a stutter. Additionally, I have anxiety. I’m fortunate enough to have supportive friends, a loving girlfriend, and family who support me no matter what. Unfortunately, I believe I have a severe stutter. My friends tell me it’s mainly in my head, and it’s not as nearly as bad as I think it is. However, I hate how much I stutter. I constantly compare myself to other people, and how “I can’t speak”. It frustrates me so much. I try to step out of my comfort zone, (volunteering in class) (asking questions in class) but I still get so fixated on the fact every time I stutter it drives me insane, it makes me depressed knowing that I have Speech difficulties, and it’s worrying me for the future when I attend university, or get a job. Can you please offer some advice?
